What people are saying about BeyondTinnitus™

I was skeptical that sound therapy could help my tinnitus because I've never really heard about it before. I've had ear ringing for years and everything else I've ever tried didn't really do much. After listening to the sound therapy files on my MP3 player with my own music mixed in, I noticed a big change after 2 weeks and then it finally went away completely after 2 months. Thank you so much for this.

My husband had really bad tinnitus. He was always asking me to repeat myself (which got annoying). I bought this for him and he's been listening to it for 3 months now. He hears things much more clearly now and we have a much calmer relationship. I definitely recommend this to everyone who has tinnitus.

I was going to pay thousands for the Neuronomics device when I found this.

Michelle J. from Atlanta, GA

I got tinnitus at a concert in one night four years ago. I lived with it since then. Only 2 months after starting this it started to get better. Almost completely gone now (after 6 weeks). Very happy!

Sam D. from Charlotte, NC

The sound therapy has definitely improved my tinnitus. I only wish it would work faster. I've been using it for 1 month. When I experience a spike in my tinnitus, I play my favorite soothing music mixed with my sound file from the website and get relief almost immediately.

Tinnitus Definition and Cause by Tinnitus Specialists

Tinnitus Definition

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of sound. Described another way, tinnitus is hearing an intermittent or constant ringing, buzzing, hissing, or heartbeat sound when there is no such sound.

Causes of Tinnitus

In order to understand what causes tinnitus, and eventually how to cure tinnitus, we have to understand how the ear works. The ear is a fairly complex organ that converts soundwaves into brain signals by passing the waves through the ear canal, onto the ear drum and then through the ear bones into the cochlea (inner ear), a small shell like structure that picks up individual frequencies. The cochlea works by transmitting different frequencies from the point where it receives the frequency to the corresponding point in the brain. The brain and cochlea are arranged exactly alike, with the frequencies (pitches) that are next to each other on the cochlea being exactly next to each other in the brain as well.

Tinnitus is caused when a particular frequency range in the cochlea is damaged and no longer sends information to the brain. This may seem strange at first as tinnitus is caused by the brain NOT receiving signals rather than receiving too many. To explain this, we need to understand one more piece of the puzzle of hearing: what do you hear when you hear nothing? Your brain is actually hearing a steady state of sounds, however soft, at every frequency simultaneously. Your brain tells you that you hear sounds only when it detects a pattern in the consistent noise it’s receiving. So, when you stop receiving signals from a particular frequency, it can no longer detect any patterns so you will at first hear nothing at that frequency. If you don’t hear anything at a particular frequency at first, why do you eventually hear too much at that frequency?

Your brain is incredible and is very, very good at reusing space. For example, if you are blind your brain will often convert the areas traditionally used for image processing to instead process extra audio, smell, and taste sensations. In the case of tinnitus, your brain quickly recognizes that you no longer have a use for the space reserved for the frequencies that are damaged in your cochlea, so it reuses the space for other frequencies. The frequencies near the damaged frequencies are given extra processing power. So they become better at detecting patterns and also tend to spontaneously fire more often. Unfortunately, that means they detect sounds much more regularly than other frequencies are detected, prompting the brain to create ringing or tinnitus.
